Psalmorum 113

1 Alleluia. Laudate pueri Dominum: laudate nomen Domini.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

2 Sit nomen Domini benedictum, ex hoc nunc, et usque in sæculum.

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

3 A solis ortu usque ad occasum, laudabile nomen Domini.

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, et super cælos gloria eius.

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

5 Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat,

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

6 et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra?

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

7 Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore erigens pauperem:

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8 Ut collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui.

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

9 Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem.

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
